george will writes romney is behind so on wednesday night it might be risky for romney not to take risks. which is a lot of risk in one sentence. do you think romg will go out there? i mean given his behavior thus far? >> historically the defirst debate is the first time a challenger has a chance to stance on stage on a level playing for field for a couple hours with the incumbent president and it's been the challenger's best debate. so just by showing up, you would think that romney's a slight favorite right now. we have seen obama recently in a higher position than he's been in all year, maybe higher than you would expect based on where the economy is. so i do think romney should have a tail wind at the same time the stuff we're mentioning where he also has tried to avoid articulating where his positions are on a lot of issues, a lot that is common sense but if you take positions further away from the center that damages you and he's not done a lot of running to the center at all in this campaign. that's unusual and he'll be proebds for more detail during the debate. >> the american pu

this is where mitt romney has spent the most money. about 10% of the republican primary vote comes from there. if he doesn't perform well in duvall county, it's not going to be a good night for him. >> kwa are you looking at for miami-dade? >> i think the latino vote is the focus. mitt romney lost miami-dade county by 52,000 votes in 2008. he has to make that up. obama won by 15 points in miami-dade county even though mccain had done well there. let's see if romney can start on that path tonight. >> florida by the numbers, 50 delegates. winner take all. thanks so much. we'll be watching and reading. that does it for us on this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." tomorrow, complete results and analysis from florida and a look at where the race goes from here. tamron hall has a look at what's next on "andrea mitchell reports." >>> thank you. the war of words between debbie wasserman schultz. >>> mitt romney is keeping up the i'm not going to take it from gingrich attitude. has romney found a way to wrap up this process? it's our "news

>> you saw the clip you played with mitt romney in colorado, president obama on sunday night in las vegas, both basically what they both said is the media wants this to be a back and forth brawl, we're going to be serious and focus on the issues because they understand that when it comes to undecided voters, tend to be people, not always, politically independent. those kind of people don't like the nastiness, the back and forth. partisans love that. but independents don't like it. the messaging is i'm a serious person, these are serious times, and we need someone who has the ability, capacity, demonstrated record to lead. so i actually think both of them will be kind of the serious and sober politician as opposed to you showed the clip of scott brown and elizabeth warren, i don't think that's what's going to happen tomorrow night. >> mark, we've seen a lot of evidence so far and see more when we go through the numbers tonight in the nbc news "wall street journal" poll the final numbers when they come out how important do you think the 47% comment is? because we've seen a real shift with m

i guess i wondered was the romney campaign happy with christie's remarks last night? we saw -- we can play a little of the visual of mitt romney looking i will say uncomfortable, if not pained, during certain parts of christie's speech last night. what is the readout from where you are? >> well, of course the romney campaign did go through most of these speeches. they were perfectly aware of what all these folks were going to get up and say. you have to remember while this is mitt romney's convention, it is also the republican party's convention and the party as a whole has an interest in looking ahead and making sure they're setting up who they see as their rising stars to do well in future years. as one of our panelists was saying earlier, this was the time for christie to sort of set himself up for 2016, which was really unfortunate for him was having to follow ann romney. the whole hall was wrapped up in this personal story, thinking about mitt, their candidate and to have christie take the stage and start making references to the jersey shore was a little bit jar
